intraepiphyseal location of an osteoid osteoma is extremely rare with few cases reported in the literature. they are often present with various atypical and nonspecific clinical features. synovitis of adjacent joint is common and along with chronic inflammation could be misinterpreted as rheumatoid arthritis. initial plain radiographs are often not diagnostic and further radiologic evaluation w...

knee surgery. the purpose of this study was to assess the analgesic effects of intra-articular injection of a dexmedetomidine following knee arthroscopy. methods:   forty six patients schadualed for arthroscopic knee surgery under general anaesthesia, were randomly devided into two groups. intervention group received 1μg/kg dexmedetomidine (d) and isotonic saline. control group received 25ml is...

conclusions although postoperative intra-articular meperidine is a better alternative for bupivacaine, their combination could improve their analgesic effects compared with each other alone. results the bupivacaine-meperidine group had better duration of postoperative analgesia (p = 0.001), latter first analgesic request (p ≤ 0.001), lower total fentanyl consumption in first 24 hours after the ...
